Samuelson the vain
Article Abstract:
This article examines economist Paul Samuelson's use of provocative mannerisms and self-promotion in his writing. The author attempts to explain these paradoxes by exploring Samuelson's persona and overindulging vanity, and applying 'intelligence-vanity' maxim to him, finding this duality to be a driving force in his work and concluding that the professions tolerance for this behavior is a sign of its lacklustre condition.
